post your cichlid setup here!

Your cichlids will do a lot better with several stacked rock formations. Lots of fun creating a
hardscape.

Ok cool. Should I get real rocks or these air rocks I been hearing about?

 

[Delapool]

Air rocks? What am I missing out on I should get?

Since it appears you've elected to try African Cichlids, real limestone rocks work really well.
My tanks are all decorated with Texas Holey Rock / Limestone. Lava rock is good too except for the sharp edges. Both type rock have natural holes in it that cichlids like. Rounded river rocks also look good, but no holes. They need to be stacked in order to make hiding spots.
The cheapest place with the best selection to buy rocks is a local rock yard or landscape company. Your LFS will likely be much more expensive.
Your 125 G. Is going to take a lot of rock. My 120 G. has over 100 lbs of limestone rock (THR) Cost me about 25 cents a lb. From the rock yard. My LFS sells (THR) for over $4.00 a lb.

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna see what I can find today. You've been a great help

My 90g WIP Mbuna tank. Still needs a lot of work. Current stock is Two Maingano? One Yellow Lab, and one male Yellow Tail Acei. The larger of the two Maingano is the dominate fish in the tank, his name is Midnight. The Yellow Lab is Tweety. Midnight decided to show off for the camera, perfectly.

Looks like you are off to a good start.

I just have 12 yellow labs, and just had a brood of about 10 but I can count. They are mixed in with upside down catfish, giant danios, and a dojo and kuhli loach.

Very pretty and well designed aquascape.
